Image Viewing Permissions

This is important @magicmat. I was just viewing your website & I just found out that directory browsing is enabled on your website which is allowing me to visit https://www.captive8media.com/wp-content/uploads/ of your website.

It’s not good for your website & is a plus point for hackers. You should disable directory browsing by adding following to your .htaccess file:

# directory browsing
Options All -Indexes

I think December’s are working now if you check. It’s possible that WordPress couldn’t create your 2014/01 directory when it tried earlier this month. I’d try creating the 2014/01 directory and setting its permissions to 755.

Thanks….the file now reads:

# compress text, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and XML
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript

# remove browser bugs
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

# directory browsing

Is that ok?!

Everything is fine. And December files are working. As WPRanger said, try to manually create 2014/01 folder.

I think December’s are working now if you check. It’s possible that WordPress couldn’t create your 2014/01 directory when it tried earlier this month. I’d try creating the 2014/01 directory and setting its permissions to 755.

Sorry, my mistake, December WAS working, its only January that hasn’t. The directory is there on the FTP, and the images are viewable from there.

Its now working! Thank you so much for your help….the 755 seems to have done the trick! Much appreciated!!!

Hooray! I love it when a plan comes together ??

December was also not working when I looked it. But both are now working. Great plugin @wpranger & you should submit it to WordPress plugin repository.

Thanks. I’m waiting for someone to break it first ??

Yeah, that’s great…although it did show it had permissions, but wasn’t showing. But great to get a breakdown of the permissions code.

Any ideas why that occurred in Dec and Jan, but not before? Is it likely to reoccur?

Please mark this thread as resolved so it could help others.

Thanks All!
